Garo addressing the press

Hassan Abdullahi Garo, Chief Executive Officer of the NLO, addressed the media at Sani Abacha Stadium Kano Kofarmata , emphasizing the integral role of the press, attributing seventy percent of the competition’s success to media coverage. Kano, known for its achievements in sports, serves as an ideal host city for such an event.

Garo announced the forthcoming Football Business Summit in Kano, strategically designed to engage individuals from the business sector and explore the untapped potentialities within football. Drawing inspiration from the success in Lagos, Garo highlighted the decision to choose Kano, citing the opportunity to foster partnerships in a region with relatively lower engagement.

The objective is to raise awareness and encourage investments in football, leveraging the city’s thriving business community. Garo asserted the superiority of the NLO, boasting over 300 clubs, and emphasized the importance of Kano’s business community investing in the sport.

Garo stressed that football has evolved into an international business, making strategic investments critical for sustained success. The clubs participating in the competition have been selected based on merit, ensuring a competitive and engaging spectacle. The football festivities are set to conclude in Kano and Uyo, showcasing the growing influence of football as a business and a source of community pride.
